The plastic drawers we have stacked behind the door in the study have been bugging me, and for a while I've been thinking about covering them with some pretty paper. Yesterday I went on a search, and found some lovely flocked damask wrapping paper by Hallmark. You can see how the drawers used to look
here.



After measuring and cutting out the five pieces, I attached them using double-sided tape. For an investment of $6.00 and about 45 minutes, I think they turned out quite nicely. Perhaps one day I'll cover them with something a little more permanent like a good-quality wallpaper.
In the pics you can also see a silver mesh bin I bought from Officeworks for $10 - which has given us a place to neatly store umbrellas, rolls of wrapping paper and poster tubes on top of the drawers (rather than just shoving them under the bed).

Love what you did with the drawers! Great idea :)
